A Pure Butter Oil!

From fertile soils and green grasses comes a most precious whole food supplement: grass-fed, X-Factor butter oil! It is the job of happy milking cows to munch growing green grasses and to produce rich creamy milk, which is then skimmed and centrifuged to make this beautiful, golden butter oil.

This butter oil is unique for several reasons. First, a specific combination of climate and irrigation is used to produce a rapidly growing specialized forage for the animals. The speed of the grass growth, timing of the grazing of this grass, species of grass and climate all ensure that the butter produced has optimal levels of vitamin K2, otherwise known as the "X-Factor". A careful low-temperature centrifuge process is then used to separate the oil while maintaining the full nutrient and essential fatty acid profile. No synthetic compounds of any kind are added.

According to the research of Dr. Weston A. Price, cod liver oil and butter oil, when taken together, provide complementary factors leading to proper essential fatty acid balance. High-vitamin butter oil contains arachidonic acid (AA), an omega-6 fatty acid, while cod liver oil is rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3. Moreover, the saturated fatty acids in the butter oil promote efficient utilization of the unsaturated fatty acids in the cod liver oil. Finally, butter oil contains a broad and deep range of important quinones including vitamin K, E and CoQ enzymes while cod liver oil is rich in vitamin A and D.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is X-Factor Gold Butter Oil Raw? How is it different than butter?

A. Butter oil is just the fat from butter, there are no proteins or whey left - just the most precious nutrients. Ours is made using 100% unpasteurized milk that has only been heated to 96 degrees F for bottling purposes. The cows are totally grass-fed so you will notice that the butter oil is very yellow, indicating high nutrient density.

Q. How is it different than ghee?

A. If the ghee is totally grass-fed, the main difference is that the butter oil is not heated beyond 96 degrees F at any point in the production process, and ghee is extensively heated, which would result in the loss of nutrients and a change in fatty acid quality.

Q.How should the product be stored?

A. After opening store in the refrigerator or a cool dark place such as a kitchen cabinet. Both sealed and opened butter oil will remain stable for up to 2 years if properly stored in this way.

Q. Do the cows eat growing green grass all year long?

A. The cows eat growing green grass from April through October. During the winter months, there is no green grass, so no oil is produced. During the summer months the grass is irrigated so it continues to grow quickly.

Q. Is the butter oil organic?

A. Our butter oil is better then organic! In order for a product to be certified organic, the cows must be fed organic soy and corn feed. Our cows are fed only grass while milking. No hormones or antibiotics are used.

Q. What does it taste like?

A. X-factor Gold Butter oil tastes somewhat like butter, especially when refrigerated. Please note however that as a truly natural product, its taste can vary slightly from batch to batch.

Q. What is the X-factor?

A. In 1945, Dr. Weston Price described "a new vitamin-like activator" that played an influential role in the utilization of minerals, protection from tooth decay, growth and development, reproduction, protection against heart disease and the function of the brain. Using a chemical test, he determined that this compound, which he called Activator X, was found in the butterfat, organs and fat of animals consuming rapidly growing green grass, and also in certain sea foods such as fish eggs. Dr. Price died before research by Russian scientists became known in the West. These scientists used the same chemical test to measure a compound similar to vitamin K known as Vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is produced by animal tissues, including the mammary glands, from vitamin K1, which occurs in rapidly growing green plants. Dr. Price found the highest concentrations of this nutrient in "the milk of several species, varying with the nutrition of the animal" and found the combination of cod liver oil and high-Activator X butter to be superior to that of cod liver oil alone. In the many butter samples he tested, Activator X was only present when the animals were eating rapidly growing green grass. In most regions, this occurred in the spring and early fall. (per research done by Chris Masterjohn, Feb 2008)

Q. When should I take it?

A. Butter oil can be taken anytime - with or without food. For optimal results, it is recommended that butter oil be taken in tandem with high vitamin cod liver oil.

Q. I noticed that the product label indicates that butter oil is not a significant source of Vitamin A or D. Does butter oil contain any Vitamin A and D?

A. Yes, however the amounts are less than those contained within our cod liver oil.

Q.Can I take this blend if I have a dairy intolerance?

A. The butter oil used in this product is free of all milk proteins, including casein. It is also free of whey and lactose. If you have a severe allergy or any additional concerns, please consult with your physician before taking it.
